ISAAK SMIGEL, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.

WRITING-PAD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 471,293, dated March22, 1892.

Application filed February 9, 1892. Serial No. 420,832; (No model.)

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAK SMIGEL, 'of New York city, New York, haveinvented an Improved Writing-Pad, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to a writing-pad of novel construction; and itconsists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed outin the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation of the pad; Fig.2, a section on line :c Fig. l; and Fig. 3, a central section throughone of the disks.

The letter a represents a base-plate provided with two corner-piecesce', as usual, to constitute a pocket for the reception ofblotting-papers, that serve as a foundation in writin g. At the top thecorner-pieces are dispensed with and a i'lap or pocket bis provided,that extends from the right to the left of the plate a. This flap isprovided with an inner offset or shoulder b', Fig. 2, against which theinserted blotters abut. Thus these blotters cannot reach up to the edgeof the iiap and can- 2 5 `not conceal three openings b2, formed therein.Through these openings are exposed the calendar-disks d d d2, bearingthe days, dates, and months, and which project slightly beyond the edgeof the pad, so as to be readily revolved. The disks d d2 project to theright and left, as shown, while the central disk projects above the pad.The calendar-disks are pivoted by eyelets d3 or in othersuitable mannerto the base-plate d and also to a narrow top strip e. (Shown by dottedlinesin Fig. l.) To conceal the eyelets and protect the disks, I coverthe inside of plate ct by lining e', and I also cover the outside of theplate by lining e2. The lining e2, as also the strip e, are omitted inFig. 2 for the sake of clearness.

To the flap b there is pivoted at f a tablet of silicate paper f. Vhenthis tablet is swung up, its free edge is received byan end pocket b3 ori'lap b; but when swung down for use (dotted lines, Fig. l) its free endis received by the right-hand corner-piece d.

What I claim isl. The combination of base-plate ct with corner-piecesa', slotted flap b, and with calendar-disks CZ d d2, pivoted to theplate a, substantially as specified.

2. The combination ot base-plate ct with slotted flap b, disks CZ d d2,pivoted to the base-plate, and with a silicate tablet f, pivoted to theflap, substantially as specified.

3. The combination ot base-plate a with slotted i'lap @having offset band pocket b3, a set of calendar-disks pivoted to the baseplate, and asilicate tablet f, pivoted to flap b, substantially as specified.

ISAAK SMIGEL.
